What is a procession for a funeral called?

SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Cortege

The task is to give the single word for 'a procession for a funeral'.

The needed word must specifically name a solemn line of mourners or vehicles accompanying a dead person.

'Cortege' means exactly that: a solemn funeral procession, and by extension a train of attendants, so it fits the definition precisely.

'Parade' is a festive public march or display, which carries a celebratory tone quite unlike a funeral.

'Carnival' is a period or event of public revelry and festivity, again the opposite of a solemn occasion.

'Carousal' means a noisy, drunken party or merrymaking, which is entirely unsuited to a funeral.

Since only 'cortege' denotes a funeral procession, it is the correct one-word substitution.
